The first of six new fast-charging hubs for electric vehicles (EV) in Housing Board estates will be ready by early 2027.
To be operated by Shell Singapore and SP Mobility, the chargers are part of Singapore’s plan to enable every HDB town to have at least one fast-charging hub by the end of 2027.
EV-Electric Charging (EVe), the Land Transport Authority (LTA) subsidiary responsible for EV charger deployment, said that the new hubs will complement the existing slow-charging network, giving EV users more convenience and flexibility.
They will be located at the following HDB carparks:
- Block 134/136 Bedok North Avenue 3, by SP Mobility
- Block 118/124 Teck Whye Lane, by SP Mobility
- Block 85 to 94/92A Pipit Road, by SP Mobility
- Block 358-360, 362-363, 366-367 Clementi Avenue 2, by Shell Singapore
- Block 58/59 Lengkok Bahru, by Shell Singapore
- Block 217 Compassvale Drive, by Shell Singapore
Depending on the site, each location will have a minimum of six or eight charging points. Each charging point will have a power rating of 50 kilowatts.
Plugging in for 30 minutes will add around 100km of operating range for most popular EV models.
In contrast, the 7.4kW chargers commonly found in HDB estates take around 3½ hours to dispense as much energy.
